Tesla Model X receives further price cuts in Canada

Tesla is on a price-cutting spree. The company slashed prices for vehicles across all categories back in January, with some models receiving an up to 20 percent price cut.

In January, due to the price cut, the Tesla Model 3 RWD finally qualified for the $5,000 CAD federal iZEV rebate, since the vehicle’s price had dropped below the $55,000 CAD limit.

Now, the Austin, Texas-based company is delivering another range of price cuts, most of which are applicable in the United States, with only the Model X receiving a reduction in Canada.

As shared by TeslaNorth, the Model S received a $5,000 USD price cut in the U.S. on both, the Long Range and Plaid models, while the Model X saw a $10,000 USD drop on its Long Range and Plaid models. Before the price cut, the Long Range Model S was $94,990 USD (now $89,990 USD), and the Plaid Model S was $114,990 USD (now $109,990 USD). Similarly, before the price cut, the Long Range Model X was $109,990 USD (now $99,990 USD), and the Plaid Model X was $119,990 USD (now $109,990 USD).

As mentioned above, only the Model X saw a price drop in Canada. The Model X Long Range saw a $7,000 CAD price drop to $135,990 CAD from $142,990 CAD. Similarly, the Model X Plaid got a $7,000 CAD cut, going from $156,990 CAD to $149,990 CAD.

For reference, at the beginning of the year, the Model X Long Range was $157,990, while the Model X Plaid was $156,990.

Tesla cuts prices, Model 3 RWD now eligible for $5,000 federal iZEV rebate

Tesla has made a bold move by announcing a global price cut of up to 20 percent on some of its electric vehicles after the automotive company missed Wall Street delivery estimates for 2022 and follows warnings from CEO Elon Musk that the prospect of recession and higher interest rates could eat into company profits, as reported by Reuters.

The latest price cuts apply in Canada, alongside the U.S., Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

Due to the price cuts, the Tesla Model 3 RWD now qualifies for the $5,000 CAD federal iZEV rebate, considering that the vehicle’s price has dropped below the $55,000 CAD limit. Check out the updated Canadian pricing for Tesla vehicles, as shared by TeslaNorth, below:

Model 3

  • RWD: $54,990 (was $61,980; $6,990 drop, -11.3 percent)
  • Performance: $72,990 (was $83,990; $11,000 drop, -13.1 percent)

Model Y

  • Long Range: $69,990 (was $86,990; $17,000 drop, -19.5 percent)
  • Performance: $72,990 (was $83,990; $11,000 drop, -13.1 percent)

Model S

  • Long Range: $122,990 (was $136,990; $14,000 drop, -10.2 percent)
  • Plaid: $149,990 (was $178,590; $28,600 drop, -16 percent)

Model X

  • Long Range: $142,990 (was $157,990; $15,000 drop, -9.5 percent)
  • Plaid: $156,990 (was $185,590; $28,600 drop, -15.4 percent)

Further, the Model 3 and Model Y Midnight Silver Metallic colourway is no longer free. It will now cost you $1,300 CAD extra to secure a vehicle in said colour. Additionally, the cost of the 7-seat option for Model Y has risen by $1,300 and is now priced at $5,300, up from its previous price of $4,000.

It’s worth noting that this comes less than a year after Tesla raised the cost of its vehicles in Canada twice in two months. Read more about it here.

According to a statement given to Reuters by a Tesla Germany spokesperson, “At the end of a turbulent year with interruptions to the supply chain, we have achieved a partial normalization of cost inflation, which gives us the confidence to pass this relief onto our customers.”

It’s also worth noting that despite not beating Wall Street estimates of 431,117 deliveries in Q4 2022, the company did set a record with over 405,000 vehicle deliveries. It is likely that the new price cuts have been put in place to increase demand for the company’s EVs and start 2023 strong.
